ADOS Test for Adults

Is the ADOS test suitable for adults? I don't think it is. I had a test first half of last year and the end result was they couldn't give me a positive diagnosis (partly because I couldn't supply a full childhood history, which is impossible). These tests had me looking through a kids picture book and being asked what the story was! This is absurd. It might be suitable for kids, but for a 41 year old it's a joke.

  • I know what you mean. I think they want to see how you describe the things in the book, if you are actually telling a story or just describing what you see on each individual page. I think I did the latter: I described in detail what I could see on each page, but I didn't tell a consecutive story. I seem to remember that I even started describing the patterns on all the frogs, but I described each page as a completely new image and didn't see them as some kind of storyline.
